correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 40.
Although Americans are known for their frank and outspoken manner, most of them are polite.
They may openly share their views on self, family, religion, and politics, but they also respect another
person's desire for privacy.
A good sense of humor is important to Americans. Laughing at themselves or their country is
something they do very well. But they may not appreciate a foreigner doing the same, especially in a
critical tone.
Americans talk openly about many topics and are not easily embarrassed. Yet there are a few taboos
even in American conversation. Very personal questions about age, weight, personal habits, or previous
marriages are also impolite.
As a gesture of friendliness, if a person offers you his hand, you should shake it; however, shaking
hands is not a necessity in most greetings, especially informal ones. Many times men are the only ones
who shake hands in a mixed group. It is customary for a man to shake a woman’s hand only if she offers
her hand first.
If you are visiting an American ‘s home, you will notice that other members of the family may help
in the kitchen, including the sons and fathers. If you would like to help the hostess you may offer to do
so, but you will not be considered rude if you do not offer. Remember always to ask before smoking in
front of your host or hostess.
